[ send me this paper ]

Neo-Liberalism in Australia’s Social Support System
[ send me this paper ]
Before the mid-1990s, public policy was based on a welfare state in which the government was viewed as the answer to all societal ills. For example, in the circumstance where a person was without employment, that person would be assisted by the government with financial support. This changed with globalization, the end of the Cold War and the global market economy. Emulating their new fiscal outlooks, governments began applying “fiscal restraint” to all government policies and programs, which has become one of tenets of the neo-liberal discourse.
